Excellent and professional service.

Excellent advice on wills and inheritance tax. Sophie Booker was clear, knowledgeable, and highly professional throughout. Arranging our first meeting was quick and easy, and Sophie responded promptly to our enquiry. She listened patiently to our needs and questions and provided clear, practical advice tailored to our circumstances. Her expertise in wills and inheritance tax was evident, and she explained everything in a straightforward way that gave us complete confidence in our decisions. I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone seeking expert legal advice in this area.

We can’t thank Lauren and the team at Setfords enough for their support in selling our late brother’s house. From start to finish, Lauren was professional, compassionate, and incredibly efficient, guiding us through what was an emotional and sometimes overwhelming process. She kept us well-informed at every stage and made everything as smooth and stress-free as possible. We’re so grateful for her kindness and expertise during a difficult time, and we would not hesitate to recommend Lauren and Setfords to anyone looking for a caring and highly capable solicitor.

Exemplary conveyancing solicitor

I had the pleasure of working with Karisma during a house purchase for which we required conveyancing service. From the initial instruction, Karisma was highly professional keeping us up-to-date on matters, answering queries with patience and responding promptly. She is an excellent communicator, proactive, working efficiently to facilitate the purchase on a tight deadline. Through her hardwork and diligence, we were able to complete before the deadline. Karisma's work and conduct was so impressive, it received compliments from the estate agent involved in the sale. Karisma's pride in her work shines through with it's superior quality and shows she has the client's best interests at the heart of all dealings. She is an asset to her firm. I am very grateful for Karisma's friendly and approachable service and highly recommend her as a solicitor to anyone looking to purchase a property. You will be in very capable hands.

Varsha Shah was my legal representative in connection with my sale and purchase of properties. She was exceptional and people say buying and selling of properties is one of the most stressful things in life one would experience, but with Varsha acting for me, it was all smooth and straightforward. I had no stress and everything went very smoothly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Varsha to anyone. Keep it up Varsha. 👏👏
